When Tanner sent these pictures, they looked like they were from another country...
But Spanish Fork, Utah has a large following of the International
Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), known colloquially as the Hare
Krishna movement.
Close to 80,000 people from the western United States turned out
for the Festival of Colors.
The Festival of
Colors, also known as Holi, is two days of people gathered on the hill of the
temple throwing brightly colored chalk powder, participating in holy mantra and
dancing to live music and bands.
Holi, the largest
Indian festival, is held on the first weekend of spring to celebrate the
beginning of the season.
Spring is definitely IN the air!
